Molecular Medicine - full and part-time
Victoria James, Assay Scientist, SPD Development Company
Molecular Medicine MSc 2008 Part-time
I chose to do the Molecular Medicine MSc because it was heavily based on research techniques and technologies, and was very up to date in teaching about tools currently used in research labs. This built on the knowledge I had already gained from my degree and experience at work. The course was well suited to me personally and I had heard good recommendations about the quality of teaching and reputation of the university.
The course material was very up to date and it was easy to see how I could apply my new knowledge to the outside world.
Studying alongside a full-time job was by no means a walk in the park, but Cranfield were very supportive of this. The course structure was very good in that each module was delivered on campus over just one week. This allowed me to focus on studying and not be distracted by work issues whilst at the same time didn’t require me to be away from work for too long. Academic staff all had a thorough understanding of their subject areas and external lecturers were extremely beneficial. Off-campus online tools made picking up lecture notes and submitting coursework easy.
Carrying out the research project at my place of work extended my knowledge in the relevant subject areas benefiting both myself and my career and made me more valuable to my company.
